Laura Bush, a teenager at that time, became the cause of death of
another teenager, her classmate and a star athlete in the school, in
car accident. In 2000, police released a report to the public,
disclosing a car accident took place back
in 1963 in Midland, Texas. It has been disclosed that Laura Welch (now
Laura Bush), 17 years at that time, had wrongly run a stop sign, which
had lead to the death of a teenager, her classmate. The report
described that Laura has been driving Chevrolet sedan in night, a clear
on, after about 8 pm on November 6, 1963, entering into an intersection
without noticing the stop sign and struck to the “Corvair secan” driven
by Michael Douglas, a 17 years boy. Judy Dykes, 17 years old, was also
sitting in Laura’s car.

The idea of speed by which Miss Laura was driving at that time could
not be obtained from the report, which is illegible. However through
some other sources including Laura’s biographies, she was going at 50
mph at that time and the speed limit on that road has been reported to
be 55mph. According to the report, the drivers had not been drinking,
however proper test to establish the reality were not performed. Laura
was not charged any lawsuit due to that accident.

Michael Douglas was taken to the Midland Memorial Hospital, where he
died of not recovering his broken neck. However there are some reports
in various news of 1963 declaring that the Michael was through out of
his car and let him die of his broken neck and then he was taken to
hospital where he was declared dead by the hospital authorities.
